Every six months a writer goes on parental leave, is driven insane by watching 10,000 hours of Paw Patrol, and writes another one of these articles, and they're always great.

"Higher education does not need to persuade white working class families to want more for their children. They already do. The task now is harder, & more important: to prove that higher education can help them build the secure, dignified & meaningful futures they already want" @amcanning.bsky.social

"Tick-box" playgrounds, rising numbers of "no ball games" signs, play curfews... My column in this week's @newstatesman1913.bsky.social on "deplaytion" - inspired by the Chernobyl-like property developer-run playground on my street:

Anyone else worried about govt funding cliff edges at the end of March? Safe taskforces, PEIAs, other pots supporting attendance and behaviour all stopping. I get the need for a CSR and this govt wants to do their own thing, but it feels like a lot of stuff that's ending will just need reinventing.

Labour's breakfast clubs must learn from the NTP's failure
Tackling food poverty is too important to repeat past mistakes. Here's how Labour can do better

Feel like I’ve forgotten how to interact on a platform like this. Past few years on Twitter I just reposted work stuff and gave up on much else.
